Officially Licensed US Navy Destroyer Squadron 2 Sticker - Commander Destroyer Squadron 2 (DESRON 2) Premier Squadron officially licensed vinyl sticker.
Second to None — the motto of the oldest destroyer squadron in the United States Navy, homeported at Naval Station Norfolk and assigned to Carrier Strike Group Twelve.
Destroyer Squadron 2 was established in May 1919 as part of the Atlantic Fleet, making it the longest-serving destroyer squadron in U.S. naval history and earning the title of Premier Squadron. Through World War II, DESRON 2 ships screened USS Yorktown through the Early Pacific Raids, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the Battle of Midway, absorbing heavy losses while keeping the fight moving forward. During the Korean War, the squadron served with Task Forces 77 and 95, executing shore bombardment, anti-submarine screening, search and rescue, and air control missions. In Vietnam, DESRON 2 ships participated in Operation Sea Dragon, delivering suppression fire against North Vietnamese coastal defense positions. Today the squadron operates Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers from Norfolk, providing air warfare, surface warfare, and ballistic missile defense capability within Carrier Strike Group Twelve across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and beyond. That unbroken century-plus of service gives the DESRON 2 insignia a depth of meaning that few Navy unit emblems can match, connecting a single sticker to carrier battles, gunfire support, cold war patrols, and modern strike group operations.
Perfect For: U.S. Navy veterans, DESRON 2 sailors past and present, Arleigh Burke-class destroyer crew members, Naval Station Norfolk alumni, carrier strike group collectors, surface warfare enthusiasts, military sticker and patch board builders, shadow box displays, cruise book keepsakes, reunion gifts, and anyone who wants a clean, officially licensed piece tied to one of the most decorated and historically significant destroyer squadrons in American naval history.
Premier Squadron heritage, a century of sea service, carried on a single sticker.
